Description

When CH could not deserialize closure because some remote table were omitted it silently fails to spawn actor. This very puzzling behavior and it could take a lot of time to debug (it did). I think that error which could only occur in buggy program should be logged to stderr to make debugging easier.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the report. Start by tracing the Cloud Haskell path that deserializes a closure and spawns an actor, then confirm how the failure is handled; done means the deserialization error is visible on stderr instead of failing silently.
